Right, The auto industry has been responsible for tanks and other military vehicles. That isn't going to sustain them and If we're subsidizing the US auto industry through taxation, your free cars aren't free. You've essentially put them out of business. That's the problem. You're easy fix formula don't do squat. You've just given 300million people a vehicle that is going to last them 10-20 years. You've garaunteed no american car sales for as long as people are satisfied they don't need a new vehicle. You've also killed the replacement parts and maintenance parts side of the industry for a generation. You don't know what the hell you're talking about.

Perhaps that helps show our problem with the US auto industry. We can't produce something that can last nearly that long.

Gosh, if only we could produce crummy vehicles that started falling apart as they were pushed off the car lot, then we could employ a ton more people to produce more crummy parts to fix them and pay them a lot because everyone would need to buy something all the time.
Get an argument of some sort to shore up your point, okay?
